The comp actually played the position very badly. h3 and latter a3??? What the hell was that? Even an 1800 won't play moves like h3 and a3 ... Kasprov should have tried b5 after a3 or maybe b5 one move before a3 .. The comp was lucky that this didn't go nuclear in it's face ... All four games the computer played badly and got bad positions .. then defended bad positions well.
